Artist: Tears For Fears
Title:
Change Fishnet Cover with Vinyl
Label:
Mercury Idea 412
LP Condition:
Mint
Jacket Condition: Near Mint Light wear in corners
The Change Fishnet picture sleeve has for many
years been known as the holy grail of Tears For Fears Collecting. It derives
its nickname from the net behing Roland and Curt in the sleeve photo. The same
design was used for the Mad World USA release and was intended to be used for
the Change UK release but either TFF or Mercury records or both changed their
minds at the last minute and the sleeve was pulled.
This copy of the Change Fishnet sleeve was
acquired directly from A R David Bates who signed Tears for Fears in the
UK. The common belief was that only the sleeve had escaped Mercury headquarters
and very few copies had ever surfaced with the sleeve and accompanying record.
Since this copy came directly from David Bates this is a complete sleeve and 12
inch record which has rarely been seen or sold together.

most records are not play-graded, but if so indicated above, have been graded by a sampling of the beginning of both sides of the record
Still Sealed/New: Never opened...still in original shrinkwrap and brand new....any tears in the shrinkwrap will be noted in description.
NM : Played once or twice, no flaws, but a remote ever-so-slight amount of that shiny luster may be gone. Jacket will be virtually flawless, slightest signs of wear, maybe one bumped corner, or a hint of edge wear. Shrinkwrap, if still on, may have some stickers on it or minor tearing.
VG : eBay equivalent: EX Record may have some marks very, very light scratching or some light sleeve scuffing that may sound briefly in a quieter passage. The jacket may have the very lightest signs of ring wear, some light corner or edge wear, maybe an old price sticker or two, that should peel off with the proper guidance.
VG : Record will have some light marks light scratches and light sleeve scuffs , and it might make an occasional pop or crackle in parts, but will not even come close to overwhelming the listening experience. Still a very desirable grade.. As for the jacket, it will start to show more signs of wear than a VG jacket, the ring wear may be slightly more evident, the edge wear or corner wear may be more defined as well.
VG: Record may have several scratches and scuffs, though aside from some popping and crackling, will still be an enjoyable listen. No skips here. The jacket will have far more wear than the previous grades, such as: edge wear to the point of some seam splitting the kind that can be repaired with tape or other means , ring wear not terrible, but still distracting from the image , edge and corner wear, minor writing or a few stickers, or other similar defects.
VG- : Not terrible, usually represents 1 or 2 ugly marks or scratches, might be a little sketchy in a few spots, other than that would fair as a VG record. The jacket will show significant wear - ring wear, seam splits still should be able to be taped up for repair , some writing and/or stickers, edge and corner wear, or other similar defects.
Good/Fair/Poor: Filler only, not recommended for listening.
